7100-7200 kHz released to Indian Hams

The positive information coming from the official sources indicate that Indian Amateur Radio operators are being allocated an additional spectrum of 100 KHz on 7Mhz Band. Earlier the Indian Amateur Radio operators were allowed to operate between 7000 ~ 7100 KHz, with the allowance of additional specturm, Indian amateurs can now operate their stations from 7000 ~7200 KHz. The official notification is likely to be released soon. This is inline with the recommendations as an outcome of WRC-2007.

It was also observed in the recent times that as on march 2009 all Indian broadcast stations have shifted their transmitting frequecy beyond 7200 KHz. However, it is also observed that 7190 KHz is still under use by Srilanka Broadcasting Corporation.

We thank the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India and the Department of Telecommunications for their encouragement to Amateur Radio activity. We also thank the International Amateur Radio community for their kind support.
